Hello list, I know this is off the usual topic but I have a friend who is looking for the bore dimensions of the "Tredegar Mountain Rifle" , if anyone knows anything about this please reply, I found one bore size of 2.25 but am unsure if that is the only size they made. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You, Marc F. Campbell

Well, I though I might be of help, but my book on Muskets, Rifles ect. didn't mention Tredegar. Anyway, according to what I could scrounge up on the net, it seems the Tredegar foundry was in Richmond, VA, the Tredegar Mountain rifle had 2 models, one was made of Bronze the other iron. It was Tredegar's smallest known rifle, all known examples having a 2.25" bore, however, the foundry did make the Williams rifle which had a 1.57" bore, so it is possible it had other bore sizes. Larger than that, the 2.9" bore Tredegars Navy Parrot Rifle at .. 3" bore Army Parrott rifle.. 4.2"bore Confederate Parrott rifle.... and .... the Tredegar's Brooke rifle with a 7" bore.
